O2 improves UK iPhone tariffs

Starting February 1st, O2 has changed its UK iPhone plans. The £35 a month for 200 minutes and 200 texts is the same price, but now offers 600 minutes and 500 texts. The £45 plan now has 1200 minutes up from 600, still with 500 texts. Customers paying £55 a month can drop to the £45 tariff and get the same package, or go to a new £75 per month plan with 3000 minutes and a rather unimpressive 500 texts. All packages still feature unlimited data and access to O2 wireless hotspots.

No reasons given for the changes, so make your own mind up if it’s to boost lower than expected iPhone UK sales or just sweeten the deal.

What’s so smart about smart phone’s?

My first smartphone was a Nokia 7650. Chunky, solid, poor keyboard and questionable styling, but this was the future. Lots of groundbreaking features that weren’t quite perfected but a big step forward. My dream of one device to rule them all was looking like a vague possibility. I became the department geek where I worked at the time, the only person with a camera on their phone. Believe it or not, I was in great demand. The department manager wouldn’t buy a digital camera and I had by far the easiest method of getting photo’s into a powerpoint presentation.

Unfortunately, it all seemed to go wrong after that.
